PHRANTONE 13-2023

30 Sept. 2023

Dear Phran Klub,

I’ve been slowly and steadily evolving the enclosed arty creation for the past couple of years. Though I confess I have never heard someone wish, unprompted, for a pack of imitation cigarettes they could eat, I know the glee I personally find in holding and eating them. I deeply love sharing them in a way I can’t quite explain. Watching people encounter Cigarasins for the first time gives me tremendous pleasure.

I put a lot of care and effort into making Cigarasins. Each one is hand-rolled by me. The custom rolling papers that wrap them are cut to size by yours truly. I hand-apply the three label decals on each tin.

Some art I produce because I can’t not. Cigarasins are in this category — a passion project, for sure. I hope you get at least half as much fun out of them as I do.

P.S. While I would serve the enclosed artwork to you in my own home without hesitation, it feels important to inform you that I did not produce it in a regulated commercial kitchen. I was at my desk. I did wash my hands often during the rolling process and used a sterilized sponge to moisten and seal each Cigarasin.
Still, I invite you to consider them as you would homemade cookies from a care package and enjoy them under your own advisement.
